Retro style handsets?

Yesterday whilst on the bus, we saw this young guy walking down the road using what appeared to be a Motorola DynaTAC 8000X


As we were thinking this was the new epitome of modern kewlness, we were wondering where we could get one from?
Obviously it cannot be an original as that would have used the old analogue newtworks that have long since been switched off.
So does anyone know where we could obtain a retro style handset like this that uses todays mobile networks?

Thanks kingrulzuk

That's definitely along the right lines, but that Binatone model looks a bit naff. Maybe it's because it's too thin? Whatever, I think that resembles more an old cordless phone, than a retro mobile phone.
Any other options available please?0
